On the strength OF q report that Jacob
Sharp was plotting m escape. Judge Barrett
cut OF yesterday his privilege Of visiting his
house. Mr.. Nicoll will not tell where he got
his report OF the contemplated escape. He
seems to have suspected that Sharp might be
tempted. now that the Testimony against him
is marshalled. to dress himself up in female
attire. as Sharkey did In MAGGIE Jordan's
clothes, and join tho colony In Montreal. Mr..
Nicoll conflded his suspicious to Judge Barrett
| yesterday morning. and Sheriff Grant was sent
for and advised to loon ont for Mr.. Sharp. AZ

day Mr.. NIcoll. Mr.. Martipo Mr.. semple. and
Col Fellows gathered about Judge Barrett
and Lawyers stickney and Nelson leaned over
their shoulders and listened eagerly.
"Your Honor knows" said Mr.. Nicoll in .
low tone. that convicted man escaped from
prison some years ago through the did Of q
female friend. who was permitted to visit him
alone in his cell. There has been some talk
that Mr.. Sharp's opportunity to follow this ex-
